1680-1698 european fashions are so under-aprecciated and I think it's a crime. It deserves the hype regency, rococo and victorian fashion gets. listen to me: the vertical and linear long-trained mantua + amplified by the towering fontange lace headdress making girlies look slender? slayed. the hair parted in the centre and puffed out over the head? gorgeous asf, especially in dark haired women.

This seventeenth-century Palazzetto Bru Zane, located in Venice, was originally a place for entertainment, especially for listening music.

This is where Mozart is presumed to have played during his stay in Venice (Carnival, 1771).

Bearing the name of its original owners, the Zane family, was built between 1695 and 1697 and it was designed by the architect Antonio Gaspari.
